As mentioned last week, Phil Ivey has been involved in a lot of
high-stakes online battles recently on his own tables at Full Tilt
Poker. The last couple of days have been particularly good for one
of poker’s fiercest competitors though, having notched up wins to
the tune of $1 million in the last couple of days.
The start to the month wasn’t great for Ivey, having suffered
some losses to some of the other super-high stakes players in
heads-up matches on the site. This week has seen an turn in his
fortunes though, which began with a $300k win from OMGClayAiken.
After a rare technical glitch brought Full Tilt to a shuddering
halt for a few moments, Ivey was right back at the tables, his next
match against seda1 going well for the pro until a lucky river
meant the match concluded with both players around even for the
session.
The big action came in his session against ‘seda1’ the following
day, and this time there was a six hour session between the two.
Having bought in for around $250k, Ivey cashed out with an
incredible $800k in front of him. Two hands in particular stand
out, with seda1 overplaying Jh-7h on a Jack-high board and walking
into Ivey’s pocket aces for a pot of well over $380k, coupled with
an aggressively played four-high flush draw that didn’t get there
which saw Ivey rake in a pot of $284k.
Many poker fans want to know the identity of seda1, who is still
an unknown player to the online community. There have also been
rumours that the action on the $500/$1000 tables has been
cross-booked, meaning they are playing at higher stakes of
purportedly $1000/$2000 and seda1’s loss was in fact to the tune of
$1.2 million.
Key hands from theses sessions can be reviewed on the
HighstakesDB website, and more high stakes action can be expected
on the Full Tilt site later today.

Four online poker players that won prize packages into the $2,400 main event of the PPC Aruba World Championship 2016 courtesy of Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes are on their way to the Caribbean this weekend and will be joined by vlogger ‘TheTrooper97’.

Americas Cardroom has released its fifth and final sponsored video chronicling the action from the Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016, which ended on Sunday with Latvian player Eduards Kudrjavcevs taking the main event title and its $143,675 first-place prize.
